Tow Rig question SRW or DRW for 5th RAM
I'm sure this has been debated millions of times, but here is a new spin. At what weight would you consider a DRW to be mandatory whilst towing a fifth wheel ? 10k 11k 12k 13k 14k 15k 16...

Chris, We have found below 20 percent pin weight leads to chucking. :(
We run a full FW tank all the time to increase our pin weight.
I sure hope you don't regret not getting a DRW when you bought your RAM.
While we are well over the listed GVWR for our 2500, we are still well within axle ratings and way within our tire ratings.
We put one truck load of stuff in it at Junction City and towed to Grayland SP on the Washington coast and then on home the next day. It towed just fine at around 14K(full water, propane and our stuff). We will most likely be at around 15K ready to camp. Carrying Capacity is 3050 pounds. Chris
